      <h3>About me</h3>
      <p>When I am not working, I am helping my wife raise our children, volunteering at my church (the <a href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng">Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints</a>) as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quorum_(Latter_Day_Saints)#Local_priesthood_quorums">Elder's Quorum President</a>, cooking, reading books, listening to books and podcasts, tweeting, or (very occasionally) <a href="https://medium.com/@tyleransom">blogging</a>. I am an advocate of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting">intermittent fasting</a> and low-carbohydrate dieting (although I don't always do a great job of adhering). I am a LaTeX enthusiast and enjoy following sports and doing sports analytics for fun. My favorite teams are: BYU, OU, Chelsea FC, Duke, and the Utah Jazz.</p>
